Balkan Hang Gliding Open meet at Koniavo, Bulgaria started with
poor weather. The first day was eventful with a very short task and a successful
deployment of a reserve parachute by the Russian pilot Andrei Sheliavin. He
reported brutal turbulence in strong wind which caused his Combat glider to

At the 2013 Americus Cup I talked Mike Bilyk into driving thirty
miles to the nearest Home Depot to buy a pair of these for himself and one pair
for Mark Knight.

It has been mentioned to me that a few pilots have complained to
Jamie Shelden about something or other at the Americus Cup. What are these
